Where do you live? Overland Park, KS

What is your fondest memory of your time playing college football? Reflecting on college there isn’t one memory that sticks out, rather just a collection of great memories and experiences that all blend together for an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything.

If you could give ONE bit of advice to the current Rubio Long Snappers, what would it be? Snapping PARENTS, what would it be? 

Current snappers: Don’t make long snapping your whole identity and just relax. Your time playing football is maybe 15% of your whole life, and you don’t want to be so locked in and rigid on one thing. Develop a personality, make some memories, and focus on being a good person.

Current parents: Spread out. Whether it is the recruiting process, speaking to instructors, coaches, teachers, etc., let your child take the lead on discussions and engagement. It will help them develop a personality, learn to be a functioning human being, and get comfortable with the uncomfortable. This will pay dividends throughout their life.

When was the last time you snapped a ball and for what reason? It was a few years ago, and I was giving a lesson. Was trying to explain how to hit the “4” follow through. Didn’t go so well, and now I follow the “those who can’t do, teach” and “do as I say, not as I do” mantras.

If you could go back and play football in college again, would you go to the same school or a different one? Why? From an experience standpoint, I would go to Kansas State again for sure. I loved the town, people, location, etc. HOWEVER, NIL is a variable my generation didn’t have to deal with, and hearing how much athletes are making, it would be hard to pass up opportunities that may more lucrative than others.   

Any regrets during college? Anything you wish you had done or hadn’t done? I wish I hadn’t rushed out as quickly as I did. I started as a true freshman and graduated in 3.5 years. I was so focused on trying to go pro and life after college, I kind of fast tracked anything. Looking back (especially with the landscape of college football today), would have loved to had a couple more years of school, getting to hangout with friends, working out, limited responsibilities, etc.

What tremendous thing have you been a part of or experienced since you graduated? Starting a family with my wife and watching our daughters grow over the years and see their development and accomplishments.
